Do these guys actually want us to win? Hiawatha Bray
Clearly not. Those doing this must obviously wish the terrorists good luck, and hope they can proceed quickly with their attacks on innocent people and destruction of our society. Hmm. Something not right about that inference. And yet we see people of all stripes making this "you must be with us or you are with the enemy" falacy. Mr. Bray isn't the only one to do it, I've seen this falacy promoted from all sides, even been tempted to think it myself. But what we must realize, when we ask a question like this, is that something has gone wrong, not with the insufficiently dedicated compatriots we are criticising, but with ourselves. What would drive a rational man to ask such a disingenuous question? Because we're asking these questions far too much. (One can only assume those who keep asking such questions want to divide us so the terrorists can win. :-) ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
